Hello Mahogany Families,

As we enter this (snowy) soon to be ‘spring like’ month of May, we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible dedication and passion that our teachers bring to our school community every single day. Their unwavering commitment to shaping the minds and hearts of our students is truly inspiring as we build our Mahogany Story together.

This upcoming week is teacher appreciation week. As May is a time of renewal, growth, and endless possibilities. It's a reminder that even in the face of the daily challenges we all face, there is always room for growth and opportunity. As educators, we have the remarkable ability, alongside you, our parents, to plant the seeds of knowledge, nurture curiosity, and cultivate the potential within each student.

Remember, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." These powerful words from Nelson Mandela serve as a reminder of the profound impact we can have on the lives of our students and the world at large.

Thank you for all that you do, today and every day. Your unwavering support of all our staff at Mahogany really makes writing our Mahogany Story together so much richer.

Wishing you a May filled with inspiration, growth, and endless possibilities. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Take care,

❤️

Tracy and Christine

Phys Ed Wellness Updates

"Wheel Week" is May 13 - 16.  We will kick it off with a wheel parade on May 13.  We will meet at the wetlands Amphitheater (see attached map for Amphitheater location) at 7:30am and ride our wheels over to the school.

Wheel Week is a week where students are encouraged to ride their bikes, scooters, or any wheeled devices to school for an entire week.  This event promotes physical activity and fosters a sense of community while being environmentally conscious.  By reducing the car traffic around the school, it contributes to safer streets and cleaner air. Wheel Week encourages students to showcase their unique wheels and personalized rides. This initiative aims to instill healthy habits, promote active transportation and create memorable experiences for everyone involved.

Students are to have a lock for their rides, wear helmets and any other safety get up. In case we run out of bike rack spaces; students can lock their bikes to the fence. No bikes should be left unlocked.
